Joni Ernst is salivating at the opportunity to put a justice on SCOTUS even if Trump loses. [View all]

Ernst admits there should be hearings and a vote for a SCOTUS justice if (God forbid) RBG were to die...even during the lame duck session.

This right here proves that the winning the Senate and controlling the SCOTUS nominee hearings are just as important, if not more, than the winning POTUS.

Ernst must lose!!! This would rip the country to pieces. The political death match would be unprecedented and she’s all for it.
